GDT: UFC on ESPN: Covington vs. Buckley

[Avs_19]

Lol it's funny that the Colby haters think they're doing him a disservice when they hate on him online/cheer against him while watching his fights but what they're actually doing is putting money in his pocket. Continuously putting his name out there and criticizing him is exactly why he made the character and its obviously worked flawlessly. That's why UFC continues to feature him, because y'all talk about him regardless of if he wins or loses.

If you'd stop talking about him and ignore him, he'd probably wouldn't be a ranked fighter at all, and would probably not get these features spots. But as long as his name is on the top of your tongues, it makes UFC money and makes him money.

The only time I talk about him is when he fights, which he literally just did yesterday. Prior to that it was during his last fight when he also lost.

As for being ranked, he's not ranked because he's this brilliant heel or lightning rod you're making him out to be. It's because the rankings are crap. Usman, who hasn't won a fight in three years, is ranked #3 in that division.

I wasn't talking about you directly, just the community as a whole. When he fights (before and after) he generates a lot more attention than the majority of other fighters, which is why he stays in spotlight. However, I will say that if you don't think he's a lightning rod, you're wrong because that's exactly what he is, he's very polarizing and gets people talking.

Same thing for the rankings, theyre definitely broken but popularity, infamy, and celebrity absolutely play into it. Wonderboy has 1 win and hasn't beaten a ranked opponent in 4 years but he has a ranking? McGregor had a ranking for a long time whole being inactive, etc. Rankings are dumb and one of the reasons is because it takes into consideration name recognition and irrelevant history. Colby is not a top 15 fighter in the division but I guarantee he's still there when the next rankings come out, he's probably still top 10.

Latest Colby excuse is that he didn’t train because he was too busy helping Trump get ready for the election

What a loser this guy is . Worse than Jamahal Hill

Can you remember that tweet about that fan supporting Hill, and Hill went on a rant against him!

Colby is an act. Hill is for real with his comments, which is scary! So deluded. Pereira living rent free in his head.

Hill reminds me of Wilder after the fury fight

Covington apparently think he’s James Carville

"It's an act" with Colby is one of the worst excuses going. Talks about people's deceased family, brings wives and kids into his trash talk, outright slanders people (i.e calling Wonderboy a pedo). Colby is a grade A POS, no man with an ounce of decency in his body behaves that way.

Hill is a clown but he is nowhere near Colby's level.

Do you also think WWE is real too? Colby putting on an act isn't an "excuse" it's a reality. His career is televised, you can see the point in his career where he went from the average boy next door on the verge of getting released due to his style and inability to be marketed, to this super unlikable "character". Do you think it's a coincidence that he's so close to Chael Sonnen (who did the exact same thing)? Colby leveraged being a controversial dirt bag to salvage his career and he's made a lot of money by being a really really bad actor. If you're mad at the words he used to get there, then you're his target audience and it worked.

dont you also think Colby is a "championship" contender.

No he isnt.

He sucks and hes an even worse human.

We call him scum for a reason.

Hill is a better MMA fighter than Covington could ever dream of

Feels like rage baiting, but I'll bite.

I think it's important to realize that this is only Colby's second loss in a non title fight in his career, and his first since 2015. Colby WAS a good fighter at one point, but he hasn't won a good fight since 2018. He performed admirably against Kamaru both times, then got spanked by Leon on his downfall. Colby has taken huge steps back since his title fights 3 and 5 years ago, and the only reason he's relevant is because of his character, he doesn't have the skills the be relevant anymore.

That being said, saying Hill is better than Colby can ever dream of is laughable, Hill sucks. Colby was definitely a better MMA fighter than Hill in his prime. Hill's resume is pretty bad, he beat a 44 year old Glover in a short notice fight for a vacant title after beating a 38 year old Thiago Santos, a chinny Johnny Walker, and an irrelevant Jimmy Crute. All of whom were coming off losses when they fought Hill. Hill has only ever beaten 1 fighter coming off a win, OSP before his title 'run'. Hill has been in the UFC for 5 years and only has 6 UFC wins, Colby was on a 7 fight UFC win streak before his first title shot. Hill's resume is not good, he just fell into a good situation in a struggling/confused LHW division.
